More Women Opting for Guns

In a day and age where there seems to be a daily barrage of crime stories on the news, more women are taking a stand.

Whether self-defense courses, or getting together with other women for protection, be sure to practice safety.

If you’ve been worrying as of late about your personal safety, what do you intend to do about it?

While you may be squeamish about having a gun, note that guns can prove to be a deterrent against criminals.

That said being a responsible gun owner is of the utmost importance.

So, will you opt for a gun moving forward?

Being a Responsible Gun Owner

In the event you do decide to buy a gun, remember these important factors:

· Safety – Above all else, make sure you practice being a safe gun owner at all times. This includes not only loading and cleaning the weapon, but also storing it. You can opt for SafariLand gun holsters or other such brands to store your weapon. If you have children at home, make sure the gun is never within their reach.

· Training – Even once you have the proper training in how to use a gun, it doesn’t hurt to get retrained from time to time. Along with that retraining, shooting the weapon at a gun range will keep your skills sharp too.

· Emergency – In the event you are in an emergency at home or elsewhere, always know what you are firing at. As an example, you hear someone break into your home during the night. Given it is likely dark, you don’t want to fire your weapon at anything moving. Remember, that could be a loved one moving around in the dark and not the intruder.
